The answer to your question is because the original is ancient crusty Windows code. Such code still exists (and not only on Windows), so get used to it. If C had been invented in 1999, most interfaces would probably look like your example above. The 80 was a different world! Part of my dislike for Windows stems from having to port ancient crusty Windows code to modern C or C++. That task is little different from working out how to call it from another language: modern C and 80's Windows C are different languages! -- Ian.
